Wow, no clockwork reward for Julia Louis Dreyfuss putting on the same by the books performance she's done for the past 6 years? Awesome!

[Tenshigure]

Marc Maron and Alison Brie yet again robbed, surprise surprise.

[Jonathan Michaels]

Well, I don’t know if she was eligible this year, don’t know if the show aired during the eligibility period.

Mainly because she had cancer.

[Perd]

Hoping for a big night for the Americans. And good to see Barry getting some love.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

Literally nothing good got nominations except for American Ninja Warrior, Antiques Roadshow, and Shark Tank.

But maybe that's more a statement on how awful I feel a lot of "critically acclaimed" shows really are.

[WoodStoner1]

Ho-hum, is it wrong that I barely watch ANYTHING here? Like on the whole list?

Or at least not the current season(s)?

Likewise, not trying to squeeze one more win out of Modern Family now that it will be ending next season?

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

Where's WWE?

[Jonathan Michaels]

Some interesting notes from the full list

Honest Trailers nominated again, hopefully can win now that the creep is gone.
Bill Maher still nominated as executive producer on Vice, might finally break that streak.
Megan Amram received two Emmy nominations for her web show An Emmy For Megan, so it might actually work
Tony Clifton is nominated as an exec producer on the Jim and Andy doc from Netflix.
Anthony Bourdain received a couple of posthumous nods for Parts Unknown.
Jason Bateman, Bill Hader and Donald Glover also nominated for Directing
Seth MacFarlane nominated for Voiceover for both Family Guy and American Dad
Steve Martin and Martin Short’s Netflix special received a bunch of nominations

Other miscellaneous nominees:
Neil Patrick Harris
Neil Degrasse Tyson
Bruno Mars
Lisa Kidrow
LL Cool J
Morgan Freeman
Wyatt Cenac
Jay Leno
Jonathan Coulton

[Hit Girl]

Cobra Kai got stiffed.

[Rican]

I'm so happy for Kenan.

Saying American Ninja Warrior is a better show than Atlanta is certainly saying something.

Beg to differ. Jesus Christ Superstar and Looming Tower are great. But YMMV.

Came here to say this. The show, Billy Zabka, Ralph Macchio, Xolo Mariduena (Miguel), and Ed Asner in the guest category (as Johnny's stepfather) all should have been considered.

[JoDaNa1281]

Bump, y'all

(Better late than never...)

[sfvega]

The idea that Atlanta can come up with something like Teddy Perkins and walk away empty handed this Emmys just tells me either there's some absolutely groundbreaking TV out there (I tend to doubt it) or they just don't value what I feel like they should and that's fine. But just know that you're wrong, Emmys. So in the wrong!

[Convoy]

My wife made me watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I thought it was awful. Looks like it won a ton of awards last night.

I remember the (now Emmy Award winning) actress from that was on a short lived show about the Manhattan Project a few years back, and she.....did not seem to be doing a good job acting throughout most of the show. What little I saw of Mrs. Maisel in videos and trailers, she seemed quite a bit better, but that earlier performance (for all I know she was intentionally playing an odd character, I didn't think it was but hey who knows) has kept me away from watching more of this.
